Diodes Incorporated AP2160KTR-G1 Overview

The AP2160KTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-performance, dual-channel current-limited integrated power switch designed for USB and other hot-swap applications. This compact, surface-mount device is optimized for self-powered and bus-powered Universal Serial Bus (USB) applications, providing a robust solution for systems requiring efficient power distribution and management.

Key Features

• Current Limiting: Each channel of the AP2160KTR-G1 is capable of limiting the output current to a safe level, preventing damage to connected devices in the event of a fault or overload condition.
• Dual Channel: The device features two independent power switch channels, allowing for the control of two separate USB ports or other power lines with a single IC.
• Fast Response Time: It offers a fast response to fault conditions, quickly disabling the output to protect the load and the power source.
• Over-Temperature Protection: The built-in over-temperature protection feature ensures that the power switch will turn off if it exceeds a safe operating temperature, further safeguarding the system.
• Reverse Current Blocking: When power is removed, the AP2160KTR-G1 prevents reverse current from flowing back into the switch, protecting the upstream power source.

Applications

The AP2160KTR-G1 is suitable for a variety of applications where power distribution and protection are critical. Its primary use is in USB power management, but it is also ideal for:

• Hot-swap power supplies
• Portable electronic devices
• Battery chargers
• Peripheral power control

Quality and Reliability

Diodes Incorporated ensures that the AP2160KTR-G1 meets the highest quality and reliability standards. The device is available in a RoHS-compliant package and is fully characterized for operation from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for commercial-grade applications.

Technical Specifications

The AP2160KTR-G1 operates from a 2.7V to 5.5V input voltage range, with a continuous output current of up to 1.0A per channel. It is offered in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant SOT-25 package, which is ideal for space-constrained applications.
